A/66/44 nationals who could subsequently be expelled to a State where they might be in danger of being subjected to torture or ill-treatment. Monitoring detention conditions (10) The Committee notes that the State party has entered into negotiations with the French authorities on an agreement that will set out the details of a “right to visit” for prisoners convicted by the Monegasque courts and serving their sentence in a French penal institution. However, the Committee is concerned at the lack of monitoring in the case of prisoners held in France, and regrets that the practice of obtaining the express consent of a person convicted in Monaco to his/her transfer to France is not formally enshrined in law (art. 11). The State party should establish a body that reports directly to the Monegasque authorities to facilitate monitoring of the treatment of such prisoners and the conditions in which they are held. The State party is encouraged to incorporate in the agreement with France a clause requiring the express consent of convicted prisoners to their transfer. Domestic violence (11) The Committee notes that Bill No. 869, on efforts to combat and prevent specific forms of violence against women, children and persons with disabilities, was submitted to the National Council in October 2009. It remains concerned, however, at the delay in the process of adopting this important legislation (arts. 2, 13, 14 and 16). The State party should ensure that Bill No. 869 is adopted quickly in order to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women, children and persons with disabilities. It should also ensure that corporal punishment for children is explicitly prohibited in all areas of life and that domestic violence is punished. The Committee further recommends that the State party should organize training or awarenessraising campaigns aimed specifically at informing victims of domestic violence about their rights. Redress for victims of torture (12) Despite the fact that there were no allegations of torture during the reporting period, the Committee is concerned about the absence of specific provisions on redress and compensation for victims of torture or ill-treatment (art. 14). The Committee recommends that the State party should include in its bill on specific forms of violence explicit provisions on compensation for victims of torture or illtreatment, in accordance with article 14 of the Convention, which also stipulates that, in the event of the death of the victim as a result of an act of torture, his or her dependants shall be entitled to compensation. Training (13) The Committee takes note of the information the State party has provided on the various training programmes for judges and police officers. Nevertheless, it regrets that the training provided was not entirely as specified in the Convention (art. 10). The Committee encourages the State party to continue to organize training sessions on human rights and recommends that the Manual on the Effective Investigation and Documentation of Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Istanbul Protocol) should be incorporated in training programmes for medical personnel and other professionals. The State party should also assess the effectiveness and impact of these programmes. 116 GE.11-45568
